lol of course it's some obscure site lol. I'm just going to have to wait till 3racing re-stocks lol. cause I need another set of alloy pulleys to rebuild my kit D3, cause it's for my daughter I can go 3X17T to replace the 13T's and a 21T which gives me a CS of 1.56 so she can learn to drift

I'm about to build the shocks now. I know a lot of you guys have modded your shocks already, I'm just looking for the best starting point - so what's the latest wisdom on the shock oil? Did the manual get it wrong and should I use the heavier oil on the front?

Yeah, I shimmed the rear pulley mounts too with 1mm on the front and 0.5 on the back. There was just something I didn't like about that long belt run, so I got the tensioner as well. I think it looks tricker too

Hi guys,great thread,I've been following it a while now,as to the previous posts about the front belt after the one way,I havent broke one front belt yet,been playing it about 1 hour per day,3-5 days a week.
Quick question,for some reason,it drifts better on one side then the other.
I have checked camber settings,ride heights,redid the shocks,springs,I wouldnt have a clue what it is now.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

is there any binding in the arms? is it balanced with the sevo and rx on 1 side and the ESC on the other? are the one way drive cups pushed right in? check the sweepers and linkages are centred when wheels are straight? I haven't had this problem so I'm just throwing questions at you lol. does your battery have the connections on the same side as the ESC that may be it?
Thanks for the quick reply pickle.
I did have those fake brake discs and it was rubbing on the controller arm,I fixed that but it didn't seem to fix the problem.
Servo and esc are opposite each other,one way is installed properly.
Battery is connected to the same side as the esc goes to.
The only doubt I have is the steering being centered or not. How do I check that ?
Measure the gaps between the arms ? Or just have to line it up as straight as I could.
As the cornering ability on one side is much better then the other,there is a noticeable difference.

not sure if this has been posted yet, i thought i share an interesting D3 i found that is modded for RWD drift,
and the steering mod this guy did was very simple to get more angle,
but just by looking at the angle, i'm not sure any cvd's will work with that much angle, so maybe thats why its RWD only

I've seen that thread..Im sure he is using wide angle CVDs otherwise it will get chatter at full lock due to limitation of the stock CVDS.
I got some practice at LHS carpet drift track yesterday...Used red springs from Integy shock set I purchased a while back and I am pretty happy with the performance. The rears are a little too high compared to the front..needs more tweaking.
But I am very pleased with my fully optioned D3.
